Quantum-Phase-Field Concept of Matter: Emergent
... dynamics. It is interesting to note that it thereby inherits the basic elements of the holographic principle, which relates the entropy of a volume in space–time to the entropy at the surface of this volume. In the phase-field theory, the competition of the free energy of volume and surface drives t ...

Thermal History of the Universe and the Cosmic Microwave
... • thermal equilibrium can only be maintained if the interaction rate of particles is higher than the expansion rate of the Universe • the expansion rate of the Universe is highest at early times, so thermal equilibrium may be difficult to maintain as t → 0 • nonetheless, for t → 0, particle densitie ...

Operator methods in quantum mechanics
... This is clearly a discrete transformation. Application of parity twice returns the initial state implying that P̂ 2 = 1. Therefore, the eigenvalues of the parity operation (if such exist) are ±1. A wavefunction will have a defined parity if and only if it is an even or odd function. For example, for ...

Semiclassical approximation of excitations in spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets
... Inelastic neutron scattering is used as a tool for observation in condensed matter physics. It offers an advantage over other scattering probes such as X-rays, as neutrons (having intrinsic magnetic dipole moment, unlike photons) are able to interact with the magnetic lattice excitations. The scatte ...
